Episode 124 Show Notes

Opening Theme: Scheming Weasel by Kevin McDonald (Incompetech.com)

Introduction: Extra show for the Inauguration

Paul and Storm: Epithets (Thanks to the Podsafe Music Network). A parody of the old Schoolhouse Rock Cartoon shorts.

Lt. John pops into the chatroom for the firt time. Leslie Springanew, of Spontaneously Speaking on Talkshoe, also pops into the chat.

We talk to Lt. John of the Air Force about his new boss, his previous boss, and other military type stuff.

Leslie calls in and expresses her concerns over Bush's exit and the bloated government.

Are we in a depression? What do you call it?

Background flatulence is provided by Mike's leather office chair. Wow.

We don't want a government art czar.

Should we have a big inauguration ceremony and all of the parties? Is it appropriate in these fiscally shakey times?

Patti Serrano, of The Entrepreneur Club and other shows on Talkshoe, joins in.

John B. and Lynn Argent also join the fun.

Patti gets a Blue Tooth. Fashion analysis at the inauguration. Was Obama wearing gang colors? Is Michelle Obama the next Jackie Kennedy?

Patti joins in the conversation about inaugural excess.

Mike compares the inauguration to people on welfare buying steaks.

The peanut butter recall is discussed.

John says that MSNBC says that Obama is looking into taxing tax refunds and Social Security checks.

Mike gets the episode numbers mixed up. 123 was the chaotic episode.

We show our ignorance of starting times for new cabinet members.

Chris Riddle joins in, pimpin' his next episode of Riddle Me This.

Chris Riddle's show that he announced was cancelled due to his producer's Chaz's illness.

Mike does his "what if Sarah Palin live in Maine" imitation.

Everyone plugs their shows.

Eric, Guest Five, hosts http://geekywhiteguy.carbonmade.com.

I accidently muted myself at the end. I was on another line and when I hit "mute all", I was part of the all. If I ever find time, I'll attach a proper ending. Thanks for listening.

Episode 122 Show Notes

Episode 122: Screw You Guys, I'm Going Home

I promoted this as the final episode of Open Mike, Insert Foot. But before ending the show, I gave my audience a chance to offer up opposing arguments against shutting down the show. Some of them were pretty good.

Introduction

2:10 Phil Frumph comes on, promoting Frumph.net's Webcomic Promotion "War". A battle of webcomic promoters. It's a promotion, it's a game. It's a Reese's Cup of Webcomicky Goodness. And promotion.

8:30 Kurtis Sasso joins in the conversation about "War"!

14:00 The main topic. Should this be the end of Open Mike, Insert Foot?

18:30 Mike Kerr doesn't want the show to end, but doesn't know why. Guest 8 doesn't know what the hell is going on either.

20:25 Comments from the chatroom.

22:40 The origin of Rod Rammit (Mike's other Talkshoe ID).

24:00 Kurtis calls in again, via Magic Jack.

37:00 Mike Leuszler, Religious Icon?

38:00 How can we make some money here? Would you like to buy a t-shirt?

43:00 John B.'s latest call.
